Great product, Great customer service
First, the reason I almost gave this four stars instead of five - Bluetooth latency. I am a musician, and bought this product so I could stream the monitor signal from my PA system mixer to my Motorola SD10-HD Bluetooth headphones. The product works as advertised, however there is a noticeable delay from when I play a guitar chord or sing a note into my mixer and hear it in the headphones after the Bluetooth transmission - making the product unusable for this purpose. I had hoped to avoid a $400 pro in ear wireless monitor using these two products, but the latency killed the idea.There are many reasons I gave the product five stars nonetheless:1. Expectations - The product is not advertised as a transmitter for in ear monitor systems, and therefore one should have no expectation that they will meet this need (I was merely hopeful). I believe I was expecting too much from two consumer audio products, and can't really hold it against them - so I decided to try it for other uses like music listening and watching TV.2. Sound Quality - I use this plugged into the 1/8 inch jack of my iPhone, iPad, and Home theater system (with a 1/4 inch adapter,) and in all cases the sound quality is very good for a non-wired connection. There are rarely any drops in transmission, and I can now listen at any volume I want. There is a slight delay for watching TV so the lips are not in sync, but many home theater systems and TV's can accommodate for this in settings. Even if not, for watching TV the delay is barely noticeable.3. Range - Bluetooth is only good from about 30 feet, and not through walls, but I was really surprised to find I can walk all around my first floor, through walls, etc, and still get a good signal - except for two rooms over all the way on the other side of the house. Outstanding.4. Customer service - This is the thing that really gets them five stars. I could not get the minijack to sync to my Motorola headphones, and after many tries I emailed BlueBridge tech support from their web site (miccus.com). They emailed me several suggestions within the hour, but none worked. I emailed them back telling them the situation, and within an hour they told me they were sending me a new minijack and an envelope to send the old one back - I didn't even ask them to do this; they simply offered it up. The new one came in a few days, and again I could not sync. Support told me they had several of the motorolas to test with and ran a test again for me. It turns out the problems was with the Motorolas - not the minijack. I had not been holding in the button long enough for it to sync with the minijack. Once I did that, everything has been great ever since.I was leery of buying the minijack, because it was cheap and I had never heard of Miccus corp before, but went ahead anyway and am really glad I did. I will definitely be checking their site for other products, and would recommend this company to anyone. I am a real person, as you can tell on amazon by checking my other reviews, and am not endorsed by this company or any other - I just think when a company provides great service like this in today's world of customer service crap and failure, they deserve a pat on the back. I hope this helps.Mike

Changed my life!
I know the title of my review sounds a little over the top, but its totally true. I got this item because I was a bit frustrated that the Nook Color didn't have an activated bluetooth ability. The hardware appears to be there, but it was added because in mass production its cheaper for them to have purchased a wireless chip that had both wireless and bluetooth, than it would have been to get one with just wireless. So they got that chip, and did nothing with it. That is one reason the Nookcolor won't get 5 stars from me. NookTablet repeated the mistake despite people wanting bluetooth, so in my opinion they would get perhaps 3 stars to start, but that isn't the point.The Bluebridge mini-jack allowed me to have bluetooth audio on whatever device I wished. I also own a Sony PSP and an XMradio. At work I have begun listening to audiobooks, podcasts, talks, speeches, etc. I mean like 6-8 hours per day. I use Motorola Stereo bluetooth headphones for all this (S305). I then can watch movies on the nook without disturbing my wife while she tries to sleep, or can listen to XM radio to hear news or talkshows that other employees don't wish to listen to. I feel like time that had previously not been mine (due to work, or other restrictions i.e. quiet time), is now being spent learning and experiencing things I just didn't have time for before. In just a few weeks I feel like I have been subjected to more learning than in a year of high school, and have been kept up to date with current events, and watched movies I have been wanting to see.I feel like I have a new life. When you think about the fact that the average person wastes 8 hrs per day at work (I unfortunately spend 12-15) that is nearly 1/3 of their life that isn't their own. Perhaps waste isn't the best word, but in this context, I simply mean to illustrate that they have given up the chance to do something of their own choice. The Bluebridge device can give you a little piece of that back. While many jobs frown on headphones, most don't have so much of an issue with bluetooth earpieces or even stereo headsets.. They are wireless after all. My Motorola S305 set actually sound better than my Sony studio headphones.This device is convenient, portable, and can be used with anything that has an 1/8" stereo output jack. Its hard to describe in text how awesome a device this actually is. Its not just like having a walkman without wires. You can set the device down and walk away nearly 30 feet. It just gives you so many options in terms of various devices and situations in which you can use them. I may attempt a language CD next. I try to tell anyone who is interested how amazing it is, and many people do ask when they see headphones with no cord. The best thing is that its extremely inexpensive for what you get out of it. All I can say is, if you are considering it at all, make the move and you won't regret it. You will be amazed how many uses you come up with for the convenience of using this with wireless bluetooth headphones or earpieces. I stress that again just because its easy to forget just how much freedom his gives you. Bluetooth is great with phones, but thats nothing compared to using it for pleasure.The device is durable and well constructed. The pivot of the jack allows it to be used with just about anything. The company has fantastic customer service as well! They are helpful, friendly, and stand behind their product. In the end, I love this product, and can't say enough good things about it.

Too much signal loss
Although this device paired OK to bluetooth headphones there was so much interference and signal loss as to make it unusable when used with a DAB radio- sent it back for a refund.
